Counselor

About Me

 

My name is Herbi Alaniz, and I am the counselor at David Crockett Elementary.

 

This is my 4th year as a school counselor and 10th year in education. I am from a small South Texas town known as Roma, Texas. I went to Texas A&M International University for my Bachelor's degree in Criminal Justice, Psychology, and Sociology (Magna Cum Laude) and then I went to Lamar University for my Master's degree in Education in School Counseling (Summa Cum Laude).

 

I am looking forward to this school year at Crockett Elementary, and would like to support all our students in regards to their socioemotional health, and overall wellness.

  • Social Emotional Learning (SEL) is crucial for elementary students because it helps them:

    1. understand and manage their emotions
    2. build positive relationships
    3. make responsible decisions
    4. develop empathy

    These skills support better learning, improve behavior, and create a positive classroom environment.
